North Male Atoll, Maldives

One of the best drift dives in north male. The current can be really strong during the south west monsoon, and is preciselly the best moment to dive here, as is when the mantas return to the coral rocks at 25 meters. It is basically a slope that gos to 25 - 30m in a sandy bottom. Inside the channel, were the current is stronger, the reef ends with a wall from 5 to 20 m, with some caves and cavities in the middle. During the south west monsoon the current use to be outgoing, and sometimes there are some turbulences and even washing machines. If the current is strong outgoing is easy to end up in the blue in less than 20 minutes, so safety balloon is a must.
